Divorce is the legal process that ends a marriage, allowing both partners to separate their lives and finances. It often involves negotiations over property division, spousal support, and other financial matters. Custody refers to the legal determination of where a child will live and who will make important decisions about their upbringing. In custody cases, courts prioritize the child's best interests, considering factors like parental involvement and the child's needs. Custody can be joint, where both parents share responsibilities, or sole, where one parent has primary authority.
